The Prince of Darkness says goodbye... or does he? Spoiler: he absolutely does not.
Live & Loud is a live album recorded by then former Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne, released on 28 June 1993. At the time, it was to be Osbourne's final album following Osbourne's final tour before retiring, aptly titled "No More Tours". The track "Black Sabbath" featured the original line-up of Black Sabbath, the members of which were invited to join Ozzy as guest stars for the Costa Mesa Reunion shows. A DVD of Live & Loud was also issued, one of the very first music compilation released in that format. The DVD is a compilation of live footage from several shows rather than a single concert: this is evident as Osbourne can be seen both shirtless and wearing different clothes during the same song, while guitarist Zakk Wylde can be seen playing up to three different guitars in the same song.[2]

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was among the first 50 DVD titles ever released commercially, helping establish the format for music content.
The 'final' retirement that wasn't became a running joke in rock history—Ozzy's since had roughly four more 'farewell' tours.
